In 1170, exasperated at St Thomas Becket, then Archbishop of Canterbury, Henry II shouted, “Who will rid me of this turbulent priest?” Four knights heard the king and took it as an instruction to kill Becket, leaving Henry with plausible deniability.
When the terrible deed was done, Henry claimed to be outraged and sought penance for his words, but endured no earthly justice. No one would dare cross him again.
After 842 years this might be the oldest trick in the book.

Was it not orange, as opposed to green? Nevertheless, if it is the correct one, it looks a belter.

Paulsatim,
D&P could sack him – would save money too which they are supposed to be doing.
Mind you, Rangers do the right thing ??
as i said yesterday classic orange order tactics make a statement then condem
the actions, now if the appeal in any shape or form reduce the sentence its job done for the fat one and you can bet it will make any further sanctions nearly
impossible to implement unless taken out of the governing bodies hands.
OFFICIAL Club Stadium Safety & Security partner, G4S, is one of a number of suppliers and sponsors who have supported the Club over the last few months and their excellent support is crucial to the Ibrox side at this difficult time.
Eric Alexander Managing Director, G4S Events said “G4S have enjoyed a strong partnership with Rangers FC for many years and we have supported them fully during their current financial difficulties.
“We are fully committed to our partnership with Rangers FC and we hope to continue this relationship in the years to come with our close relationship with Ticketus.
We are not just versed in Football crowds but Rock and Opera but Crazy Car Stunts as well”
Paul Clark, joint administrator from Duff & Phelps, said: “Our on-going discussions with the Scottish FA do not in any way affect our relationship with G4S, who have been very understanding and supportive of the Club during the administration process.”
Kayal33,
Was told by a lady in the superstore that the away kit would be available to pre order from TODAY and launched on 24th May!
Don’t think it will now be available to pre order today but launch date will be accurate- away kit always launched before the home.

And whats that ring around the badge????

All this talk of transparency is going to Fat Sally’s head.
Well, enough so that I can see his scalp through his transparent hair.

I heard a bit of that.
They’re missing the point though.
McCoist already new the names.
His only reason for making his comment was that the people would be outed.
He’s a rat.
Just heard Alan Sugar . The Apprentices had to sell food in Edinburgh. One team tried to sell gourmet food out side Tynecastle at the game v Admin FC. They were selling their food at £7.99.
Sugar states “£7.99? They do not pay that for a striker there.”
Pound,pound,pound,pound,
You cost a pound,
Pound,pound,pound,pound,
You cost a pound.
Your just thugs who will get
Your history stripped,
Scotlands shame,
Were sick of your shit,
You cost a pound,
You cost a pound.
Yeah the taxman knows you
He won’t leave you alone,
You’ve ripped off the country
And the soldiers you bone,
You cost a pound,
You cost a pound.

Dear Mr Hate-ly,
Your team are in the grubber because they got caught with their hands in the till.
Because they fiddled their taxes.
Because they did not pay their bills.
Because they screwed clubs all over Europe.
I’m sure if the Panel was made up of reps from Rapid Vienna, Arsenal and Man City, for example, you would not have got off so lightly.
Your Faith-fully

My overriding emotion regarding all this behaviour is one of tired despair.
Didn’t we all know it would lead to this?
Does it provide us with any satisfaction at all that the rangers fans faithfully play to their stereotype over and over again?
I just want them to go, disappear. Let’s have this sorry mess finished with so that their hatred can slowly dissolve into history along with their club.
Because of what Lennis has had to endure in Scotland, winning the title this year makes him worthy of the Manager OTY award. As the SPL has only ever been won by Celtic and Rangers, however, then the MOTY award would really only be between two if SPL title success is the criteria.That being so, I don`t really care who gets it. I know that, if all the managers in Scotland were available to us, Lennie is the one I would pick. That makes him my Manager of The Year and that will do for me.
